VANITY NOTICE: I've just learned that I am an "EXTREMIST!" WOO HOO!!

Nicest compliment I've received in a long time.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Y'all might want to be careful who you hang out with. If you are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-Liberty, pro-America and post to FreeRepublic.com, you risk being labeled as an "extremist."

That puts you in the company of extremist folks like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, & Co.

As extremists, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Speaking of quotes from our extremist forefathers, someone sent me these this morning:

George Washington - "..And let us indulge with caution the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion... Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle."

John Adams - "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

James Madison - "We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future ...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."

Noah Webster - "No truth is more evident to any mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

See you at the March for Justice!!

May God continue to bless and watch over America and all her extremists!

So after all these years you finally agree what the mods and guides over at the $prodigy whitewater bbs were telling you???

LOL!!!

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution"

-- Abraham Lincoln (debating Stephen Douglas), 1858

[Petronski]

The judge issued a long series of orders that resulted in her death.

Slather all the mustard on it you want, it's still a sh!t sandwich.

[Brad’s Gramma]

If you are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-Liberty, pro-America and post to FreeRepublic.com.....

Dat's me! WHOO HOOOOOO!!!! Glad and proud to be in your company, you Extremist you!

"The state only got involved in this matter because the litigants decided to go to court. "

Oh, I SEE now.
The Schindlers should have just shut up and let their daughter be tortured to death?
Or, as Greer said, "The law in this case is that she dies."
Funny, state probate court judge, the state ruled that she dies, your arguement doesn't hold water.

[Darksheare]

"The state only got involved in this matter because the litigants decided to go to court."

And no, MICHEAL decided to go to court.
HE took it to court to get the feeding tube removed.
You can't just go and remove it.

Extremist BUMP

[lugsoul]

Marrying a guy who would stop at nothing to carry out her wishes.

[GoLightly]

You are correct. She got a trial & she, er "won". That said, where did the judge get the authority to make it criminal to give her anything by mouth?

[freespirited]

Does your state register them?

[Modernman]

Oh, I SEE now. The Schindlers should have just shut up and let their daughter be tortured to death?

No. The fact that both the plaintiffs and the defendants in the case were private citizens makes this trial, by definition, a civil trial. Therefore, no Constitutional right to a trial by jury.

Or, as Greer said, "The law in this case is that she dies."

Nobody has been able to come up with a reason why Greer's decision went against Florida law.

Funny, state probate court judge, the state ruled that she dies, your arguement doesn't hold water.

If this was not a civil case, then what was it?

[B Knotts]

I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is, eh?

[Lady Jag]

YAHOO!!!

[Darksheare]

For some of these guys, I guess so.

[Modernman]

And no, MICHEAL decided to go to court. HE took it to court to get the feeding tube removed. You can't just go and remove it.

Fair enough. And?

[FreedomSurge]

"That does not mean, however, that the government sentenced her to death."

Absolutely right on. The government sentenced her to a vacation from breathing.

[Darksheare]

And a state judge ruling that she dies is the state ruling for death IN CONTRADICTION to your previous statements.

[DJ MacWoW]

The state was not ordering death. It was simply determining whether TS's legal guardian had the power to order her feeding tube removed.

Then you never listened to Felos on TV. He stated that the court ORDERED the feeding tube removed.

>["appropo"}
The word is spelled: "apropos".

[B Knotts]

Yep. That's my point. The legalistic arguments in favor of Greer/Michael Schiavo/the Courts/etc., I've seen remind me so much of the arguments used to defend Clinton.
